I decided to create a second poster in a similar style to have a sense of brand identity. I like the pushed black filmic look in black and white. To continue with this theme I also chose to use the same composition on the same bordered frame and just change the image content. I kept to combining an interesting piece of scenery with a poignant scene from the film. This time I used this image I took a little while ago in Brighton:
It is a really vibrant and interesting image. I love the way the light stands look and the lights in the distance add a lot of charm. I again converted it to black and white and added grain. I then chose a frame from the film to add into the frame as a double exposure. I chose this frame:
It is a more revealing image with both of the main characters in the same shot. The hands touching tells the story of romance I wanted to get across and also makes the key point of interest be something that is shared with the first poster. When trying to combine the two I came up with quite a surreal idea. I placed the scene frame along the bottom of the frame and then actually rotated the background image 180 degrees. At first I thought this was quite a drastic look and wasn't sure if it worked however, after a few tweaks and a bit of thought I think it works really well.
I think it is a dream-like, mysterious, conceptual look that is pretty powerful. It also subtly and subconsciously I think reflects the protagonists arch during the film. His world is turned upside down by the disease that is transferred to him and that is connoted heavily in this poster but not to an obtuse degree.
